Chapter 122: Exciting (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The referee announced the results of Eddie Tolan and Ralph Metcalfe of the United States, who crossed the line at the same time, and the final time was 10.3 seconds, but the referee decided that Eddie Tolan was 2.5 cm ahead, so Eddie Tolan was second and Ralph Metcalfe was third.

Neither of them cared about their results, second or third, it didn't matter, their attention was still stuck on Chen Qiang's world record of 10 seconds 2!

"10.2 seconds, a new world record! That Chinese can run so fast! It was able to break the world record! ”

Both men had shocked expressions. They're both top athletes in the world and they know how difficult it can be to break a world record in a competition, at least neither of them has the confidence to do it.

But Chen Qiang did it, a Chinese broke the world record in the 100-meter sprint, at this time, the mood of these two people is no longer "surprised" can be described, at this time the two thinking is in a state of "short circuit".

Germany's Arthur Jonas clocked 10.4 seconds, while George Simpson of the United States and Danny Joubert of South Africa recorded 10.5 seconds and 10.6 seconds respectively, all of whom had great results, but their good results were overshadowed by the glow of the world record.

In the area where the coaches and athletes were waiting, all eyes were on the Canadian team and on one person: Patsy Williams, a former 100-meter dasher.

Before this match, Patcy Williams was still the world record holder, but after a match, the world record held by Patsy Williams has been broken, and the halo of "the world's fastest" has also been taken away by Chen Qiang.

Patsy Williams stayed for more than a minute before he came to his senses.

"My world record has been broken?" Patcy Williams muttered to himself.

A world record, from the day it was born, is used to be broken, and Patsy Williams also knows that the world record he has set will be broken sooner or later, and he has long been mentally prepared for this. Even he already had a hunch that his world record would most likely be broken at this Olympics.

However, when the day actually came, Patsy Williams still had a sad feeling, like a child who was robbed of his most beloved toy by a school bully, but there was nowhere to tell.

After a long time, Patcy Williams took a deep breath and began to accept what was happening in front of him.

"This Chinese is the one who was in the group with me in the preliminary round! At that time, I still felt that it was my carelessness that was exploited by this Chinese, so I was eliminated, but I didn't expect that the strength of this Chinese was really higher than me, and in that preliminary round, I was not wronged at all! ”

……

When Chen Qiang was the first to cross the finish line, Yoshioka Lund clenched his fists, and his body was even trembling faintly.

The man who was regarded by Yoshioka Lund as the biggest opponent in his life has won the Olympic championship and has stood on the top of the world, which is a stimulus and an incentive for Yoshioka Lund.

Looking at the scene of Chen Qiang hitting the line, Yoshioka Lund even had a fantasy, and the picture of himself crossing the finish line and standing on the highest podium of the Olympic Games appeared in his mind.

At this moment, Yoshioka Lund seems to have a new goal, a higher goal, that is, to stand on the highest podium of the Olympic Games and hang the Olympic gold medal, which symbolizes the world's highest sports honor.

Then he heard that 10.2 seconds.

Yoshioka Lund was stunned for a long time, his somewhat anxious English level, so that he recalled for a long time before he understood, the number in the referee's mouth, and then instantly realized that it was a new world record!

Astound! Unbeatable shock!

Immediately afterwards, the new goal he had just born instantly came to naught, and the fire of struggle that had just been ignited was also extinguished in an instant!

The world record of 10.2 seconds once again shattered Yoshioka's confidence.

In the next second, Yoshioka Lund let go of his originally clenched fist, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

In Yoshioka Lund's eyes, although the original Chen Qiang was very powerful, it was at most a steep mountain, and he could climb it if he worked hard.

But now, Yoshioka Lund suddenly understands that Chen Qiang is like Mount Everest, so far away, just looking at the past will also make the climber lose courage!

Yoshioka Lund still understands that it is impossible for him to surpass Chen Qiang in his life!

……

A Chinese won the championship of the 100-meter sprint, which has made the audience feel incredible, but what is even more incredible is still to come, that Chinese is not only the champion of the 100-meter sprint, but also broke the world record!

The time of 10.2 seconds was announced, a new world record was born, and the audience looked at Chen Qiang in amazement. Some people even begin to wonder if their ears are misheard!

One second, two seconds, three seconds...... It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that a crisp applause suddenly sounded out of nowhere.

Immediately afterward, applause erupted and quickly spread throughout the stadium.

If a 100-meter sprint champion just shocked these American audiences, then the world record in the 100-meter sprint obviously completely conquered the American audience at the scene.

Many of these viewers still discriminate against the Chinese, but they have no way to discriminate against a new world record. It's human nature to worship the strong, and when a world record is in front of you, it doesn't matter if you're white, black or yellow.

Competitive sports have always been like this, the strong is king, and the winner is king!

When Chen Qiang stood on the podium, applause once again resounded throughout the audience.

Eddie Tolan, who finished second, and Ralph Metcalfe, who finished third, barely managed to squeeze out a smile. Obviously, the two are still haunted by not winning the gold medal.

There is a Chinese standing in the middle of the two Americans, this scene looks a little abrupt, this is a scene that has never appeared in the Olympic Games, but Chen Qiang feels that such a scene will definitely appear in the future, and Americans will slowly get used to it.

Not far away, Nanfang Zhongping looked at this scene and saw the golden Olympic gold medal hanging around Chen Qiang's neck.

"I really didn't expect that Chen Qiang would be one step ahead of me and win the gold medal in the Olympic Games, and I will work hard in tomorrow's long jump competition, and I will do my best to win the gold medal in the Olympic Games!" Nanbu Tadahei thought to himself.

As the world record holder in the long jump, Nambu Tadahei competes in the Olympics with the goal of winning a gold medal!

There is no competition in Nanbu Chungpei today, and the long jump event he participated in will be held tomorrow.

Nanbu Zhongping came to the competition venue today for two main purposes, the first purpose is to make a pre-competition confirmation, he has to be present in person, submit identity documents, and confirm to the organizers that he will participate in the long jump competition tomorrow. The second purpose is to get the list of athletes who will compete tomorrow and the order of the athletes.

While waiting for the list of athletes, Nanfang Zhongping watched the award ceremony of the 100-meter sprint by the way, saw Chen Qiang's high-spirited appearance on the podium, and felt envious in his heart, and then encouraged himself.

After waiting for most of the day, Nanbu Zhongping finally got the list of athletes who will participate in the Olympic long jump competition tomorrow.

"Only twelve?" Nanbu Tadahei directly looked at the last person's appearance number, which was "12".

"There were a lot fewer people than in the last Olympics, and I remember the last Olympics where there were 41 people in the long jump." Nanbu Zhongping muttered to himself.

Nanbu Tadahei had participated in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, and he also signed up for the long jump and triple jump, so he knew about the last Olympics.

At the 1932 Los Angeles Games, due to the Great Depression and the distance from the European continent, the total number of athletes participating in the Games was only one-third of that of Amsterdam. The long jump competition also reflected this figure, with the number of athletes participating in the long jump dropping from 41 to 12.

It is precisely because only 12 athletes participated in the long jump competition that the long jump event of the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics did not have a preliminary round, only a final, and all athletes decided the winner!

"Let me see who they are and if there are any athletes I am familiar with." Nanbu Tadahei carefully looked at the list of participating athletes.

"The gold medalist in the long jump at the last Olympics was American Ed Hamm, and it seems that there is no name for him. I have long heard that the domestic trials in the United States are very cruel, and sure enough, none of the last Olympic champions were able to participate. ”

"American Ed Gordon, he seemed to be seventh in the last Olympics! And then there's Germany's Erich, who finished fifth at the last Olympics! Nanbu Chungpei saw two familiar names.

At the Amsterdam Olympics, Tadahei Minami finished ninth in the long jump, so he still remembers the athletes ahead of him.

Nanbu Tadahei continued to look at the list of contestants, and suddenly, he saw a name with unfamiliar letters, but familiar to read.

"Chen Qiang?" Nanfang Zhongping was taken aback, and he quickly took a look at the nationality, and it was indeed Chinese.

"Chen Qiang, is he going to participate in the long jump competition? Or is it just the name? ”

"China only sent two athletes to participate in the competition, how can it be the same name!"

"Or is it a mistake on the part of the organizers? It can't be either. This is the Olympic Games, and the competitors are all confirmed on the spot before the competition, how can it be wrong! ”

Nanfang Zhongping was suddenly confused, and he didn't know what to do!

……

In front of Chen Qiang, Shen Siliang's rushing runway, he held the Olympic gold medal in his hand and observed it carefully, his expression seemed to be eager to go up and add a few bites.

After a long time, Shen Siliang was very reluctant to return the gold medal to Chen Qiang, and then said: "Chen Qiang, the Chinese community in Los Angeles has prepared a celebration banquet for you!" The cars are all ready and right outside. ”

Chen Qiang hesitated for a moment and said: "Then I'll attend, but I won't drink the wine, and I can't eat the food, I will participate in the 200-meter preliminary race, the semi-finals, and the final of the long jump tomorrow." ”

Shen Siliang patted his head: "I'm happy to be patronizing, how can I forget about this matter, you still have a game tomorrow." That's fine, you go to the celebration party to show your face, and then go back to the hotel to rest, I believe those overseas Chinese will definitely understand. By the way, whatever you want to eat, just let me ask the chef to prepare the meal and deliver it to your room. ”

Next, Chen Qiang participated in the celebration party held for him by overseas Chinese. Originally, the overseas Chinese hoped that Chen Qiang could come to have a full meal, but after learning that Chen Qiang would continue to participate in the competition tomorrow, they expressed their understanding, and after cheering Chen Qiang on, they sent a car to send Chen Qiang back to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Qiang ate some things and went to bed early, and some media wanted to interview Chen Qiang, but they were also blocked by Coach Song.

Because tomorrow will be a lot of work, not only two 200m races, but also a long jump final.

……

John is an auto worker who was lucky not to lose his job during the Great Depression and still has a job to support his family.

After work, John returned home as usual, his wife had prepared dinner, and the children had returned home from school, and John could finally enjoy his happy family life.

During dinner, John turned on the radio, which was also playing the Los Angeles Olympics.

"It's like the first day of competition in the Olympics, and I don't know how many gold medals the U.S. team won." John said to himself.

I only heard this announcement on the radio: "In the track and field field, Chinese athlete Chen Qiang won the men's 100-meter dash championship with a time of 10.2 seconds, and broke the world record of 10.3 seconds held by Canadian Patsy Williams. Eddie Tolan and Ralph Metcalfe finished second and third, respectively. ”

John put down his knife and fork in surprise and looked at the radio with a look of disbelief.

"The Chinese broke the world record in the 100-meter dash? How is this possible? Just those skinny and small Chinese? Is it April Fool's Day? ”

The same thing happened in countless American families, and when people came home and turned on the radio after a busy day, they heard the news that the American team had lost the 100-meter dash.

The 100-meter sprint has always been ruled by the United States, and the gold medal in the 100-meter sprint has always been regarded as a ban by the Americans, and it is difficult for other countries to get involved. When Canadian Patsy Williams broke the world record, it caused quite a stir in the United States. But Patsy Williams is Canadian, and Americans can more or less accept this result in their hearts.

But now, it was a Chinese who broke the world record, which instantly caused a sensation in the United States!

At that time, discrimination against Chinese in the United States was more serious than in European countries, and the Chinese Exclusion Act wrote racial discrimination against Chinese into law. Under such circumstances, how can the American people accept that a Chinese took away the 100-meter sprint gold medal from the American team!

There were six people in the final, and Americans accounted for half of them, and the three best sprinters in the United States lost to a Chinese!

The American people were disappointed, and this defeat made them feel very embarrassed. Some sports commentators simply published articles describing the loss of the Olympic gold medal in the 100-meter dash as the most painful failure of the American track and field team.

……

In Shanghai, Zhao Ziliang, a reporter for the "Declaration", walked out of the telegraph office, and the whole person was still in a state of sleepwalking.

"I'm not dreaming, Chen Qiang won the Olympic championship and broke the world record!"

The excited mood was like a wave, hitting Zhao Ziliang's mind wave by wave, and at this time he really wanted to shout loudly to vent the excitement in his heart.

But reason suppressed the impulse in Zhao Zi's conscience, he knew that he must not shout out, he had to return to the newspaper office as quickly as possible, and then publish the news in the newspaper.

"Rickshaw!" Zhao Ziliang shouted and summoned a coachman.

I saw Zhao Ziliang rush into the rickshaw at the fastest speed, and said: "Go to the newspaper office of "Declaration", the more the better, and I will give you more rewards!" ”

As soon as he heard that there was a reward, the rickshaw driver suddenly came to his senses: "Sir, you sit tight, how fast I run!" ”

On this day, the news that Chen Qiang won the Olympic championship and broke the world record appeared in the major newspapers of Shanghai, which instantly caused a sensation in Shanghai. It's like detonating a heavyweight nuclear bomb, and almost everyone in the entire Shanghai Beach, whether it is a dignitary or a pawn, is talking about Chen Qiang.

A series of titles such as "Olympic Champion" and "World's Fastest" have indeed led countless Chinese people to be excited.

……

Taichang Company, Wu Youyuan held the newspaper and looked distracted.

He has watched the news of Chen Qiang's championship seven or eight times, but he still hasn't seen enough.

Although there are no photos in the newspaper, Wu Youyuan can imagine what Chen Qiang looked like when he won the championship.

"My two gold bars are not in vain!" Wu Youyuan feels that Chen Qiang won the Olympic championship, and he should have his own share of credit. At this time, Wu Youyuan suddenly had a sense of glory, and he touched his chest with some pride, as if the gold medal was hanging on his chest.

……

Tianjin, Nankai University closed classes today, the whole school fell into a carnival, students brought gongs and drums, bought firecrackers, the quiet campus in the past, but at this time it is more lively than the New Year.

Zhang Boling locked herself in the principal's office.

Did the sound of firecrackers and the cheers of the students sound outside and enter the room through the window, Zhang Boling was sitting on the chair at this time, but he was already in tears!

He's laughing at the same time!

"In my lifetime, I will have no regrets in my life to be able to see my Chinese athletes win the Olympic gold medal!"

……

Tianjin Chinese Martial Arts Association, at this time, is also full of lanterns and firecrackers.

The old man Zhang Zhankui even changed into new clothes and sat in the hall with a red face. From time to time, martial arts people will visit to congratulate them.

"Oh, is there anything happy today? Is it Mr. Zhang's birthday? A passer-by asked.

"It's not Old Man Zhang's birthday, it's Chen Qiang who won the championship at the Olympics!" A merchant next to him explained.

"I know that Chen Qiang won the championship, what does it have to do with Old Man Zhang?" Passers-by asked puzzled.

"You don't know this, Chen Qiang is also the doorman of Old Man Zhang, and now that Chen Qiang has won the championship, this Xingyi gossip door is naturally going to celebrate! Mr. Zhang said, 'This is my Chinese martial arts victory over the Western Olympia, raising the prestige of our country, and it is also a great victory for the gossip'! You see, the people who came to visit were also martial arts people from Tianjin! ”

In fact, the martial arts people in Tianjin also know that Zhang Zhankui is rubbing the heat, and Chen Qiang is also a name under the Xingyi gossip door. However, Zhang Zhankui's side began to celebrate in a big way, and other martial arts people might as well give the old man a face, anyway, it is the icing on the cake, it is nothing more than a favor to Shunshui!

……

Peking University, Tsinghua University, Professor John Ma held the newspaper in his hand, quite a feeling of raising his eyebrows.

It is also this newspaper that has been publishing some articles on the "uselessness of the Olympics" in the past few months, vigorously advocating that Chinese should not participate in the Olympic Games held in the West. At that time, many ignorant people really believed it and began to boycott the Olympics, and even in Tsinghua University, there were students who resisted the physical education curriculum.

Today, the newspaper praised Chen Qiang. Not long ago, the so-called "going to the international stage to sell ugliness" has become "a model for promoting China's prestige and rejuvenating China."

"Chen Qiang, good job, it's really a turnaround for our sports world!" Professor John Ma couldn't help but praise loudly.

At this time, Professor Ma felt that helping Chen Qiang raise funds in major universities in Peking a few months ago was the most correct thing he had done in his life!

Those teachers and students who had donated money to Chen Qiang also felt that the donation that day was really worth it!

As for the so-called "scholars" who preach the "theory of the uselessness of the Olympics" and clamore for Chen Qiang to donate all the money, they are like rats in broad daylight at this time, and they don't know where to hide.

……

In the temporary office of the Ministry of Education, in the conference room, several directors were already arguing.

"Sending athletes to the United States to participate in the Olympic Games is originally a national government affair, and it is naturally a matter of our Undertaking Division, and Chen Qiang's winning of the Olympic championship is of course the first contribution of our Undertaking Division." The Secretary for Administration spoke.

The director of the General Education Department next to him shook his head: "Chen Qiang participated in the Olympic Games, your Cheng Zheng Department did not contribute money, and the other did not contribute, I heard that even the registration was personally handled by Principal Zhang of Nankai, and now that Chen Qiang has won the championship, your Cheng Cheng Department is still embarrassed to grab the credit?" This Chen Qiang is a student of Nankai University, and the reason why he was able to win the Olympic championship is inseparable from the school's education. ”

"Hehe, Chen Qiang is the world's top athlete, he needs to be taught by a special person, this is the work of our special education department, don't get involved in your general education department!" The Director of the Department of Specialized Education is also prepared to take the credit for himself.

Another director of the Department of Social Education also said: "The development and popularization of sports is a matter for the whole society, and it is not necessary for students in schools to engage in sports. Physical education in schools is only one part of the overall physical education. To participate in the Olympic Games, our Department of Social Education has an unshirkable responsibility! ”

When Chen Qiang was going to participate in the Olympics before, none of these bureaucrats from the Ministry of Education expressed their support, and even some people were holding back.

Now that Chen Qiang has won the Olympic championship, the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Education have rushed out one by one, wanting to stop all the credit on themselves.

……

Northeast.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, there is a simple camp, where there is a troop of dozens of people, they were originally a unit under the banner of the Northeast Army, after the fall of the Northeast, they were unwilling to withdraw to the Guannei, but ran into the mountains and forests, continue anti-Japanese activities.

These people are called the Volunteers.

I saw three people walking through the mountains and forests, all three of them were carrying things, and the leader was bearded, but his eyes were big, revealing a shrewd look.

"Big Eyes is back!"

The crowd immediately greeted them and helped them unload their belongings.

"Brother Big Eyes, how's the situation in the city?" Someone next to him asked.

"What else, there are Japanese everywhere, and the Japanese are getting stricter and stricter, and we finally got out of the city in a fool's way." Big-eyed spoke.

"Big Eyes, is there any new news in Kannai? When will the young marshal lead the brothers back? The other asked.

"There is no news from our Northeast Army." Big Eyes shook his head, took out a newspaper from his arms, and continued: "Company commander, this is a newspaper that came back from Guannai, I just bought one, and the newspaper seller was arrested by the Japanese military police, and the newspaper in his hand was also taken away, maybe there is some news on it that I don't want us Chinese to see." ”

The company commander took the newspaper, glanced at it, and found that it was Tianjin's "Ta Kung Pao".

"Let me see, what is the news on it that the Japanese don't want us to see."

The company commander looked at the front page of the newspaper, which was the news that Chen Qiang had won the Olympic championship and broke the world record.

"Company commander, what did the newspaper say?" Someone next to me asked.

"The athletes of our country went to participate in the Olympiad held by Westerners and won the first place!" The company commander said in an excited tone.

"First place? Isn't that more powerful than Little Japan? ”

"It's more powerful than Little Japan, didn't you hear the company commander say, it's a sports meeting held by Westerners, which means that we are more powerful than Westerners!"

"No wonder Little Japan wants to take away these newspapers and not show them to us Chinese, because we are afraid that we will know that the Chinese are better than their Little Japan!"

The soldiers next to them began to whisper.

The company commander continued: "That's not all, our Chinese athletes not only won the championship, but also broke the world record!" ”

"What's the world record?" A young warrior asked.

"It's the most powerful in the world, the first in the world!" Someone next to him answered.

"Yes, it's the best in the world." The company commander paused, and then said, "Do you remember what those Japanese said about us? They say that we Chinese are the sick men of East Asia, that we are an inferior nation, that we are destined to be ruled by them! ”

The company commander said, clenched his fists fiercely, waved the newspaper in his hand, and continued: "Those little Japan are wrong, we Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia, we Chinese are more powerful than them Japanese, and we are better than Westerners!" Those little Japan still want to rule us? Phew! Brothers, you see, our athletes are the best in the world, so we Chinese are no worse than those little Japan, we are better than them! Sooner or later, we will be able to drive all these aggressors out of China! ”
